Joining the Conversation: Wasif and the History of Jerusalem<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a 750 word essay, introduce the main historical narratives about Israel and Palestine, and explain what Wasif\u2019s life tells us about them.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need an introduction or a conclusion, and you should not do any outside research.\u00a0 You only need these paragraphs:<\/p>\n

First, summarize the Zionist and Palestinian narratives about their history.\u00a0\u00a0 Do this using our Gelvin reading, and include one quote from Gelvin about each of these narratives, or national myths. Keep this part simple.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second, introduce Wasif using the article by Tamari.\u00a0 Present at least five or six basic biographical details, like we did with Equiano in class.\u00a0 Provide a page citation for each detail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Third, summarize Tamari\u2019s argument about Wasif.\u00a0 (If you can\u2019t figure it out, focus on the title of the article: \u201cJerusalem\u2019s Ottoman Modernity.\u201d)\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve done this, explain whether you think Tamari\u2019s argument supports or challenges one or both of the narratives you discuss in the first paragraph.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, use Wasif\u2019s diary excerpt to make a Claim\/Evidence\/Warrant paragraph that relates to any of the things you have discussed in the previous paragraphs.\u00a0 You can point out something new, agree with or challenge Tamari, or back up one or the other of the narratives.\u00a0 The point is that your argument must connect the primary source (Wasif\u2019s diary) to the secondary sources (Gelvin and Tamari). \u00a0This paragraph MUST include a quote from the diary.<\/p>\n

Things to Remember:<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using the Claim\/Evidence\/Warrant Structure<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the last assignment, I said that the C\/E\/W structure is an adaptable outline that you can use anywhere.\u00a0 Here it is again.\u00a0 This time, you can think about it like this:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. A claim<\/strong> that clearly states your main idea, view, or position on something. In this case, it is your original thought about Wasif\u2019s diary.\u00a0 Present your idea in a simple sentence that begins your paragraph.<\/li>\n
    2. The evidence <\/strong>that supports your claim. Mention at least three things in the excerpt that back up your claim.\u00a0 This is where you should introduce and discuss your Wasif quote.\u00a0 All of these things get citations.<\/li>\n
    3. A warrant<\/strong>, which connect the dots between your proof and your claim. Tell us why we have to reach the same conclusion as you about the evidence you have shown.<\/li>\n
    4. Transitions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This essay covers lots of different topics.\u00a0 They are all connected, of course, but it is your job as a writer to help your reader see the links between each of the things you discuss.\u00a0 One way to do this is to put a transition word in the first sentence of each paragraph, that spells out exactly how the new paragraph relates to what you\u2019ve already said.\u00a0 See the document on Blackboard for more on how to do this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
